I didn’t catch the original comment, but without even needing to read back at least one well known way is a trigger crank. (*what are the odds the first example that comes up in a search is the “fun guns” section of some website called Arizona Riders?)
This statement just confirns that you have no idea what you are talking about.
And I think you have over-used the ‘totally insane’ line in this thread.
You have never actually picked up an real gun, have you?
And those Toyota Camrys have killed a lot more people than have ever died on a F1 race track anywhere in the world.
Those fuckers kill people almost everyday. Just looking at one makes me ill.
In other words “I can see how he got confused”.
I was just trying to bring you up to speed. No big deal.
I don’t want to get into car analogies, but this blog does a pretty good job of explaining, and showing graphically, the difference between the two rounds.
Just having similar diameters does not make the two rounds comparable. I sure wouldn’t want to be shot by either of them but the .223 has considerably more stopping power and penetration than a .22.
You know what, I can see I am pedantic about gun stuff and the words used.
Making a semi auto gun into a pull the trigger and it keeps firing, let up on the trigger and it stops full auto is quite involved.
One can add a trigger crank or a slide fire stock to make a semi auto "act’ like a full auto, which is what matters.
I submit that Farmer Jane is correct in saying a shooter could “rig” a semi auto, and make it fire in a manner which seems like full auto.
You still have not addressed the questions I put forth in post 132. I guess you got nothin but hand waving and totally insanes to contribute.
You are out of your mind. You sound like someone who has never picked up a gun. I’ve shot everything from .22 rimfires, to shotguns, to 44 Magnums (Those fuckers have a kick.) I’ve also shot .22/250 handguns and rifles.
For you to equate a .22 rimfire pistol to a what comes out of an AR-15 is beyond stupidity. BTW, do you happen to be from Texas? And too bad that you don’t understand the concept of an analogy. Yea, a Camry 2.4 liter engine is just like an F1 2.4 liter engine. Tell us how that works. 'Splain that to us simpletons.
ROTFL !!! :smack:
“She”.

It could be achieved pretty simply as far as I can predict. Just claim that it’s in the best interests of the populace and start a long running propaganda campaign comparing the assault rifle holders with terrorists. It’d be ludicrous to argue that the second amendment provides the citizenry with a check on the power of the government, as long as the government heads a defence department with a 700bn+ budget. I wrote a bit about the other reasons for wanting to own a gun here.
I must say, arguing for gun control exclusively due to one incident could lead one into the spotlight fallacy. For instance, it’d be erroneous to note that European democratic socialist states generally have strict gun control laws and Norway had a particularly large mass shooting, so therefore strict gun control laws are ineffective. Looking at intentional homicide rates, Norway is quite consistently significantly behind other industrial nations (and actually has higher rates of gun ownership than other Western European countries with lower intentional homicide rates).
Copy cats. The first one seems pretty serious:
"At least 3 men accused of making threats during or after watching the new Batman movie have been arrested in separate incidents…:
"A Maine man was arrested when he told authorities that he was on his way to shoot a former employer a day after watching “The Dark Knight Rises,” Maine state police said Monday.
Timothy Courtois of Biddeford, Maine, had been stopped for speeding, and a police search of his car found an AK-47 assault weapon, four handguns, ammunition and news clippings about the mass shooting that left 12 people dead early Friday, authorities said."
Police searched Courtois’ home later Sunday and found a machine gun, several other guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition."
The second one, less so:
"In Southern California, a man at a Sunday afternoon showing of the film was arrested after witnesses said he made threats and alluded to the Aurora shooting when the movie didn’t start.
Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were called to a cinema complex in Norwalk after moviegoers said 52-year-old Clark Tabor shouted: “I should go off like in Colorado.” They said he then asked: “Does anybody have a gun?”
A security guard saw Tabor with a backpack on his knees in the second row, but deputies who searched the bag, the theater and its surrounding area did not find any weapon."
The third was just a drunk mouthing off.

Although I am no expert, from seeing the tape of He Who Will Not Be Named in court, that boy is way beyond nuts.
I figured. Booby trapping one’s apartment does not fall into typical sane behavior.
On a tangent: I was thinking, reading this thread, that the word “plinking” was a bit overly casual for “firing a gun at something” but a bit of internettery tells me it really is a thing. I feel more educated now.
Ooooh! So that’s where the Kingdom of Loathing term came from!
I am enlightened.
The movies are to blame says Peter Bogdanovich. I’ve read a couple of other dumb articles lashing Warner Bros and Christoper Nolan for the violence in their movies. I’m surprised at Bogdanovich. If a psycho copies a movie it’s not the movie that’s at fault, it’s the fucking psycho.
So, I read an article about boyfriends protecting girlfriends and in the rolling Twitter feed, the comment was asking whether they deserved it.
I wouldn’t even think to ask something like that satirically. Though now that I think of it, “Colorado woman circuitously causes death of military vet” does have a ring to it.
